21、In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?

Irving’s interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot. Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn’t think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit(驾驶舱)of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life.

Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.

At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.

Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted(顽强地坚持)in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.

On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days-with 145 hours in the air-he landed back in Miami. A crowd of cheering people were there to welcome him.

Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect(影响)on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.

“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do.” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue(追求)it.”

【1】Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving’s life?

22、A smart diet, a healthy life

No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.

Tip One: Family Meals

Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.

Tip Two: Healthy Snacks

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the right message.

23、

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “PerhapsI can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I

had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think about it before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.  A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

【1】The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ______.

A.escape in it B.get to the other side of the island

C.use it for food D.go around the island

【2】To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT ______.

A.keeping goats for milk B.making clothes from animal skins

C.working in the corn fields D.going fishing in the sea

【3】Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?

A.Because it was too small for a long journey. B.Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

C.Because there was something wrong with it. D.Because the writer was busy building a second house.

【4】What’s the right order of the following sentences?

a. I made fields with high fences to keep goats in.   b. I did make myself a smaller canoe.

c. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals d. I owned two houses.

A.cdba B.bdac C.bdca D.dbca

25、Dear Kate,

It is very exciting that you are coming to our school so soon. Before you arrive, let me introduce to you what our school life is like.

Our school is a good place where we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many teachers who are always ready to offer help. Though we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons, getting high scores (分数) is not the only r【1】 to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions in class. With their help we have d【2】 all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to join any school clubs they are interested in. We can choose the s【3】 that we want to study. Last term I chose American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose m【4】 classes because my father bought me a piano as a birthday present.

By the way, I was elected monitor of my class. Sometimes it can be tiring to be a monitor, because I have to do a lot of work and a【5】 many meetings. However, being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was p【6】 than ever before. So being a monitor an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.

I love my school and hope that you will have a unforgettable e【7】 here too. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Ping
